Capella Niseko Resort and Residences is situated in Japan's ski destination of Niseko in Hokkaido. Developed by Annupuri Land, the property will be managed by Capella Hotels and Resorts, led by legendary hotelier Horst Schulze. The property will feature a 67 suite hotel and 149 residences set on 32 acres of greenery just minutes away from the Annupuri-Niseko ski fields.

China's fast-growing personal wealth has led to soaring demand for luxury holiday homes. More and more city dwellers desire an escape to nature and there is no better place than Niseko to own a resort property. This high-end resort property displays the new real estate development trend. The exhibition of Capella Niseko Resort and Residences in Shanghai offers property owner a chance to join this trend and secure an escape to this mountainous retreat that offers some of the world's best skiing as well as all-season resort facilities.

Compared with traditional property, resort property brings an unrivalled leisure experience. With a uniquely natural setting, this property has an advantage in maintaining and increasing capital value. Coupled with a world-class design, well-preserved and distinctive local cultural features, and limitless selection of culinary delights from Hokkaido and management services of a 6-star hotel standard, this project offers great investment value.

Ernest Tsang, General Partner of Annupuri Land, reiterates: "Our goal at Capella Niseko is to create a resort that provides the very highest level of personalized service in every aspect of the guest's stay or the residential owner's experience. We know that in Tadao Ando Architects and Associates and Capella Hotels and Resorts, we have selected only the very best in their fields. With the unique natural resources of Hokkaido, Capella Niseko is a perfect location to start your 6 star family holiday legacy and provide the Asian elites with a unique investment opportunity to own their freehold luxury holiday home in Japan."

Savills will provide full support for the Capella Niseko Shanghai exhibition. Siu Wing Chu, Senior Director of Savills Residential Sales said: "Hokkaido is becoming the first choice holiday destination for many people in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. Now there are direct flights to Sapporo from Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong, which makes Niseko very accessible to visitors from all over the world, and the ease of travel will be especially attractive for those with children. The exhibition of Capella Niseko will bring the ski resort property concept to Shanghai and Mainland China. China's real estate market has grown rapidly in recent years, however sales of resort property in China is still at an initial stage. High quality resort property ensures high rental returns and capital appreciation, and provides personalized luxury of the highest level."

Capella Niseko Resort and Residences has received an over-whelming response at the launch in Singapore and Hong Kong last month, with more than 10 units sold in Singapore and 45 units sold in Hong Kong.

Capella Niseko Resort & Residences
Capella Niseko Resort and Residences is situated in Japan's popular ski destination of Niseko in Hokkaido. Niseko is the biggest ski resort in Hokkaido and the best in Japan. The powder soft snow is of quality that very few other places in the world can offer, and attracts numerous skiers every year. Niseko is surrounded by the serenity of snow-capped mountains, which makes it nature's playground all year round. Skiing, golfing, rafting, hiking, fishing, kayaking, mountain biking or horseback riding - as seasons change, so will your reasons to come back. Alternatively you can simply enjoy your privileged privacy, where the only thing louder than the sound of nature is the sound of your thoughts. Capella Niseko is the first all season luxury resort in Asia.

Capella Niseko Resort and Residences is designed by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando. Ando is one of the world's most respected architects. His work has been honoured with nearly every major architecture award in the world, including the Alvar Aalto Medal (Finland), Gold Medal of Architecture - Acad¨¦mie d'Architecture, Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la L¨¦gion d'Honneur (France), the Praemium Imperiale (Japan), the Pritzker Architecture Prize, Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects (USA) and Gold Medal of the Union Internationale des Architectes. Despite never having received formal training in the field, Ando's work has influenced a generation of architects. The architect's approach puts emphasis on the creative use of natural light and forms that follow the contour of the landscape.
